5. Axial Play Check and Adjustment
Axial or end play on shaing can result in noise, wear
and faulty sewing.
Check:
1. Check the main-sha by pushing and pulling on
the hand wheel. (Figure 5.1) Note: A small amount
of main sha axial play is permissible. Too much
main sha play, however, may cause noise and or
stching issues.

Test le to right
If a correcon is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Loosen the counterweight screws
(3 mm handle hex tool) (Figure 5.2).
• Adjust so that minimal to no play is detected.
• Provisionally set the screws.
• Check that the sha has minimal play and no
ghtness from the collar being too ght by
rotang the sha through a few 360
o
rotaons.
• Check that the ming of the eccentric is sll
correct (see counterweight ming Secon 4 page
12, gure 4.2.
• Fully ghten the screws.
• Check sha again for play or ghtness.
2. Check the hook sha by pushing and pulling the
hook as shown in (Figure 5.3).
If a correcon is necessary:
• Remove the front cover.
• Remove the play by loosening the hook-sha
thrust collar (not the hook-sha ming pulley)
and adjusng out any axial play (Figure 5.4). Note:
There is no at for the hook-sha thrust collar.
• Check for proper seng by rotang sha through
